Jessica Chastain Messages

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.

Put others before yourself, unselfish love, do unto others as you would have done to you.

I try not to fake anything.

I've spent my life being embarrassed.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.

I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.

Whatever anyone says, I think the opposite will happen.

Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
